Breastforms

So I'm thinking of investing in a pair of breastforms... However they're quite expensive, and I'm wanting to know how realistic they are... For example, could I get away with a low-cut top in them...?

... I expected this post to be longer... Oopsy!

Hugs!

I have learnt quite a lot about Breast-forms after I did some research.

My best advice to start with is: if you have the money go to proper on-line store and they will get the best size, shape and skin tone for you. If you are on a budget try the ebay, buy new and in the UK. Dont buy from china or Hong-Kong as these can lead to some serious problems.

Choosing a size for you is probably gonna be the hardest thing to do. I bought a F size forms but these equal to 34F 36E 38DD etc. be carefull to get ones that look good for you body shape etc.

As far as looks goes, they look very real in a full support lace bra but I would never ever wear a low cut top as they would stand out a mile. If you bought expensive ones that match you skin tone you may get away with it a little more but can probable still see the seam.

Hope this has helped, msg me if you after anymore advice.

I bought mine from the breast form store and I love 'em!

As far as wearing a low cut top, not exactly because as soon as you bend down someone could look down your shirt and then they'd see the breast forms. However, it's possible if you already have some breast tissue of your own to work with. In this case one would put the breast forms in as usual and then lift them slightly and push your own breast tissue up and towards the center of your chest. This may make your forms rest more so towards the outer edge of your bra instead of in the center like they normally do. If done on both sides you should have your own breast tissue squeezed together at the center almost creating a line where the two meet. You could then wear a lower cut top that way.

It's kind of like what a push up bra does with padding.

Kaitlyn, the advice already offered is right on. I also bought mine at the BFS, and the quality was excellent. They felt the right weight, had the right feel, and fit well. The covering didn't tear or get discolored.

You could do a lot worse. As with most things, you get what you pay for. Oh, and in a bra, I thought they looked very natural, and so did my S/O.

I bought mine from the Breast Form Store. They are the same people that host this website for the server! So Laura knows who they are too!

You are not buying them for color you are buying them for the right size for you. You buy a masectemy bra from the website too (if you want) and you just place the breast forms inside the pockets so they stay in place. It is a good idea to have different bra colors. A black one might sound sexy but when you buy a white shirt it will show through etc. I bought a white mastectomy bra originally then black and the next masectomy bra will be natural beige. You could buy medical grade adjesive they sell at the breast form store and attach breast forms to your chest but that is a lot of work for wearing them on a regulat basis and you need to get them off eventually too! I want to try the adehdive some time though too it should be fun.

For me I bought some breast forms in a size that are in a average size of most cis women and that is equivalent to size b c range. I belive the onesIi bought were size 5 Gold Seal Premium and they are designed for the male torso. I bought mine several years ago. If you get something too big you will attract unwanted attention. They have a sizing chart on their website, a video etc. The best thing to do would be to email them if you were unsure, tell them your height weight and current chest size amd what look you want. For me i wanted to blend in with other cis women. Buy too big a breast form size and you will have trouble with some sweaters, shirts etc keep that in mind too!

The Breast Form Store video can be seen at this site. http://www.thebreastformstore.ca/breastforms-catalog.aspx

Like women who have had a mesectomy you wouldn't want people looking all the way down your shirt otherwise they would know your secret. Try different tops and see how you feel with the breast forms. If you have some flesh on your chest you could use some tape to pull both sides together to help create cleavage for lower cut tops for eg.

I hope this helps :-)

Hi Kaitlyn, I have silicone breast forms from the Breast Form Store.They look good and feel natural. Best money I have ever spent. Purchase

the right size for your body type so you look natural. I sometimes wear scoop neck tops and the forms dont show,real low cut tops would

be a problem. You can buy adhesive for your forms to keep them in place.

Love Kim

my girlfriend bought hers from the breastform store and she has a pair she bought off amazon and they both feel very realalistic and look it to. yes they can be exspensive but you wont be dissapointed in them and yes you can buy the addhesive that stuff helps the forms seal to you so you dont see a line through your clothes.

hope this helps if not let me know.

best wishes and best of luck.

I bought a pair from Janet's Closet and under clothes they are dead on. Unfortunately (and this is not Janets fault) I overestimated a little and I have a pretty sizable D cup now. They do fit my figure but they definately attract attention.

If you have a little bit of natural material to work with, just bend over and reach in under them on each side and pull up and to the center. That way you will have a bit of natural cleavage that sells them a little better.

I HIGHLY recommend getting a pocket bra for them though as otherwise you will need to use surgical adhesive which works, but gets a little difficult to maintain if you are in a hotter climate and sweat.

      Sometimes we are faced with situations where the only response possible is grief.  Things will never be as we want them; people die, we lose things we cherish, we do not obtain what we earnestly desire.  I see some of those situations here; there are tools available to help you through the grieving process.  It's not easy.

      I would be happy to just have 4 disabilities. I take 27 different medications and it does little. I tried working when I got out of the military but couldn't maintain one. I have a lot of mental disorders myself. It would be neat to learn about each other's background. I do understand just wanting to be normal. My job is a stay-at-home parent which is exactly tougher than a regular job especially being a single parent.

      It is 5 posts for PM's from Members, but you can receive and respond to PM's from Moderators or Administrators before then.  This one is post #3 for you.

      Rich as in happy? Far from it. I'm happy about my kids but I shouldn't put all my happiness on them. I take care of myself and do the best I can. I'm happy and content that I have a house and car but nothing that can't be taken away from me like in an instant. I completely lack motivation and don't even want to do my walks anymore. I can't get a membership somewhere because I have kids that are mostly with me. I put myself out there for hoping something to come up and be good, but it's has always been like getting hit in the back of the head.

      Hi, I don't think I have enough posts to PM yet I don't think (I think it's 5?). I'm poor myself since I can't work, but my parents are luckily helping me get surgery covered by insurance since I am still on their insurance and they have flexible spending each year. I live far away from them, halfway across the country, but I'm glad I have their support.   On the day to day... having a disability sucks. I wish I could just work like everyone else and have a normal life, but my mental disorders prevent me from doing most things.   I'm glad someone else understands at least.

      Very pretty y'all. 4" heels is the max I can handle and not for long period of time. I don't see how women wear 5" and above. I love my feet. I sure don't want to punish them.

      Well just been doing a lot of self reflection and a lot of gender dysphoria that has caused me to break down. The realization has been that I'm a trial period for men and women don't even consider me. It's getting dim. I have put myself out there by force even when I didn't want to. I have one friend but still haven't seen her IRL yet. We talk on Sundays and it's always me that starts it. Another person only talks to me when they want something. It's never been hey how are you doing. It's almost a month to my birthday and it's all just my mom, sister, nephew that are coming. So much for a 40th birthday party. I hate these posts. I want to be optimistic, positive and cheerful but I haven't seen anything go my way. I'm making it by the skin of my teeth. I wished I could just go into a coma for a year or just not wake up.

      Sorry I have been absent a lot but I do read your posts though. 
    • Ashley0616
      @Michelle_S lol it took a year to get that many. It's nice to have a large number but having the thoughts of helping someone far outweigh the number of posts. I have been absent a lot lately. Back at it tomorrow though lol. 
    • Ashley0616
      I understand. I have the opposite problem. I'm really tall, my feet are size 13, I don't have any curves mostly but I do have breasts so at least I got that but I get stared at. I have tried dating to men I'm just a trial period and none of the women want to date me as a trans woman so I'm just stuck being single. I do have one friend and that's it. I'm right there with you about not being able to work. I haven't been able to come up with the money for any surgeries. I have a wealthy dream and disability IRL. If you want I can chat with you. 
    • KayC
      Will do @Michelle_S  sending you a text soon.  My apologies for not being in touch sooner

      Not sure I could handle 4" heels.  I do have some 2" ankle boots though.
